I'm a PhD student in Archaeology at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. I study the medieval Middle East trade, which allows me to travel a lot in this area (Yemen, Oman, United Arabs Emirates, Kuwait, Uzbekistan...).
My husband, Laurent, is a research engineer at EDF.
We like to travel and to discover new landscapes, new people and new cultures. We live in Paris so we are urban, but we come from the countryside (Brittany & Normandy) and we are definitely nature lovers.
We are not looking for an extra comfort room, but for a charming one, with a story and an identity.
We are very clean and respectful people, quiet and polite, happy to talk and to learn!

Sterenn is a sweet host and her apartment is cozy. It is located in a Parisian neighbourhood and you would have almost all you need in her apartment or shops nearby. Though you have to climb up a few flight of stairs but you would definitely feel like you are at home. There was minor problem with the internet connection and Sterenn was a responsible host and responded promptly. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it.

My girlfriends came to visit me in Paris and had a great stay at Sterenn's place. She was incredibly gracious and accommodated us at the very last minute after my other host had cancelled on me. Her place was immaculately clean and the six floor walk up really was not that bad! Thank you Sterenn!

If I could, I would give a rating on 6 stars! Sterenn was an absolutely AMAZING host. She was so friendly, kind, helpful and I really felt at home in her apartment immediately. The flat is absolutely lovely too. On the top floor with skylights, and in a beautiful, safe part of Paris, close to Montmartre. I would highly recommend Sterenn. A truly great experience.

Sterenn is completely lovely and very accommodating. She left the flat stocked with fruit and tea and bread, which was a great treat on arrival. The flat is also very clean - she clearly takes pride in her home. And it's in an absolutely unbeatable location, especially for less touristy, more authentically cool Paris experiences.
There are a couple of things visitors should note prior to booking their stay:
1. This is an awkward flat for more than one couple. The flat is actually broken into two parts, like two separate flats, each with its own locked door. One has the kitchen, living room and pull-out bed. The other has the proper double bed and the bathroom.
2. This flat is inappropriate for people who are not physically able to climb six storeys via twelve small flights of stairs. Like many Paris apartments, there is no lift, and the flat is on the very top floor.
3. Very tall people might be happier elsewhere, as the ceilings are not full height.
This user's comment was totally accurate: "There are only two downsides to the apartment, which is why five stars won't happen -- and neither are Sterenn's issue: 1. The apartment is on the sixth/seventh floor of a no-elevator apartment building. So, that's one reason she doesn't charge $50 more a night. 2. The apartment is broken up into two separate rooms that are connected by a public hallway. The bathroom is in the second room. The result is that you have to plan your evenings carefully in order a) not to forget your keys to get back into the main room, and b) not to "surprise" your other neighbors with more skin than they paid rent to see. :-) But for the price, location, and charm of the host, it's just perfect."
I can't agree more with the last comment in particular. For the price and the neighbourhood, this flat is a great choice!

This was a super cute, very clean place very near Anvers, Pigalle and Gare du Nord stations in a fun neighborhood. We had our own living and sleeping space. Sterenn was very friendly and made our check-in easy. I would love to stay there again. Note to those with bad knees or lots of luggage, you'll need to climb 7 flights of stairs, but the skylights are worth it.
